No Disagreement
Formally reporting the bill to
the senate for the start of debate
today, the committee noted there
was no disagreement in its ranks
as to the method of placing tax
payers on a current basis.
"The only differences that de
veloped in the committee were
as to the treatment of the tax on
1942 income," the report said,
adding:
"A majority of the committee
was of the opinion that the en
tire 1942 liability should be
abated or cancelled, except such
part of the liability which could
be recouped through windfall
revisions. There were others on
the committee who believed that
less of the 1942 tax should be
cancelled than Is provided in
your committee bill."
As approved by the group,
the measure would abate the
lower of either 1942 or 1943
taxes for all taxpayers, putting
all on a current basis except
those with windfall incomes who
would have to pay on the excess
over a "normal" year's earnings,
as measured by their 1938, 1939
or 1940 income plus $10,000.

who gladly threw up their
hands in surrender.
(Among the prisoners, said a
Reuters bulletin from allied
headquarters in North Africa,
was Col. Gen. Jurgen von Ar-
iiim, the axis commander).
Meek Germans
Streams of meek Germans,
driving their own trucks, moved
bumper to bumper in miles-long
lines from dusty Cap Bon to
ward prison cages in the rear,
the front line accounts of Asso
ciated Press Correspondent
Daniel de Luce said.
The Germans had made no
real attempt to hold the cape,
he said, and threw up their
arms and raised white flags in
ready token of surrender with
out even attempting an axis
Dunkerque when a single squad
ron of British armored cars
reached Camp Bon lighthouse
at 3 p. m. yesterday.
Cap Bon Taken
(A German broadcast, quot
ing Berlin military quarters,
said "the peninsula of Cap Bon
however has been occupied by
the British." Earlier the Italian
communique declared that Gen.
Giovanni Messe, commander of
the Italian first army in Tunis
ia, had rejected a demand for
surrender on Cap Bon.
(The German broadcast said
the pocket southwest of the
peninsula had been divided,
with French forces thrusting
eastward and joining with Brit
ish, forces which had come down
the coast to Bou Ficha.
Zaghouan Resistance
("Thus German and Italian
troops in the Zaghouan area are
defending themselves in two
groups north and south of that
place," the broadcast said. "Re
ports from various sections of
the front confirm that axis sol
diers are , fighting to the last
cartridge").
So thoroughly had the patrols
of Lieut. Gen. K. A. N. Ander
son infiltrated Into Cap Bon
peninsula that allied air bomb
ing of the bomb-riddled area
was called off late yesterday be
cause of the danger of hitting
friendly troops. 1
The Germans and Italians
southwest of the peninsula were
hemmed in a circular area only
about 15 miles across, and this
was being given severe punish
ment by the air forces as well
as by the troops, but the com
munique said "The lack of suit
able targets indicated the ap
proaching end of the air battle
over Tunisia.
While many Germans were
still at large on Cap Bon's in
land mountains, they were most
ly service personnel not much
interested in fighting.
-.100,000 Expected
. .The total of prisoners was ex
pected to pass the 100,000
mark. The completed count in
the area of the second U. S.
army air corps showed the
Americans, French Free corps
and Moroccan Goumiers had
taken 37,998 prisoners, of whom
33,498 were Germans.
The Italian communique said
Gen. Giovanni Messe, comman
der of the first Italian army in
Cap Bon, who is reported to
have been left as commander
of all axis forces in Tunisia, as
well, had rejected a demand for
surrender by Lieut. Gen. Sir
Bernard Freyberg, New Zea
land commander.

were offering considerable re

for conccntraing against Japan
rather than Germany.
Japanese Strategy
However, Indications that
much emphasis would bo placed
on strategy against Japan was
apparent from the fact that
Churchill brought with him
Field Marshal Sir Archibald P.
Wavoll,' commander in chief ot
British military forces In India,
and two other important leaders
from the India theater of opera
tions. Presidont Roosevelt has prom
ised that China will be used as
a base against Japan and Burma,
which lies between India and
China, is in Wavell's sphere.
The other two British officers
from the India theater are Ad
miral Sir James Somervllle, commander-in-chief
of tho eastern
fleet based nt Ceylon, and Air
Chief Marshal Sir Richard
Peirse, air officer commanding
in chief in India.
Second Front
There was no reason to be
lieve that the question of a sec
ond front on the European con
tinent was to be sidetracked,
however, since Churchill also
brought with him so mo of his
other key advisers.
They Included: . General Sir
Alan Brooke, chief of the im
perial general staff; Admiral of
the Fleet Sir Dudley Pound, tho
first sea lord; Air Chief Marshal
Sir Charles Portal, chief of tho
air staff; Lord Leathers, minister
of war transport; Lord Cherwell,
the ' prime minister's statistical
officer; Lieutenant General Sir
Hastings L. Ismay, chief staff of
ficer to Churchill in the latter's
capacity as minister of defense;
and Brigadier E. I. C. Jacob of
the war cabinet. .
For his part, Mr. Roosevelt
had ot hand the top military and
naval men of America.
Long Talk
Presidential Secretary Stephen
Early said the prime minister!
and president had a long talk!
last night and that their meetings
would be almost constant, , as
would those between their
staffs.
Mr. Roosevelt was dividing
his, time, today between his of
fices, where he arranged to keep
appointments previously made,
and the White House proper
where the bulk of his talks with
Churchill were to take place.
The expectation was rather
that talks based on the situa
tion surrounding the European
invasion would be political rath
er than military, since the prob-
